Default Military Barong

Hello all,

I am more familiar with kukri, but today a very good friend made me the custodian of this barong. Being a weapon I am totally unfamiliar with I wonder if the presence of a military style leather frog/hanger, means that it is a military example, or merely a barong which somebody chose to carry whilst serving. The benefits of such a knife speak for themselves.

The leather itself is a great fit, and general wear shows the two have been together for quite some time.

The leather has a military marking of a crown over an M, does anybody recognise the marking, or have a guess as to nationality?

Any information, comments or suggestions are most welcome!
